Lonely Planet review

Nishijin is Kyoto's traditional textile centre, the source of all those dazzling kimono fabrics and obi (kimono sashes) that you see being paraded about town. The area is famous for Nishijin-ori(Nishijin weaving). There are quite a few machiya in this district, so it's a good place simply to wander.
